uBeat now testing in the UK

We’ve received word from Konami that their newest and certainly unique bemani title uBeat is now testing at Tenpin Bowl, in Acton, West London. According to the release we received (that you can find after the post break), uBeat has been “hugely popular in overseas markets” so if you are in the area where this is testing, it’s your chance to go and see what the buzz is all about. They say that the game will not be there much longer but they do want people who play the game to let them know what they think (e-mail link after the jump as well).

I wonder how much longer the game will be out testing after this is complete – it would be great to see it released before the end of the year.

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. are pleased to announce, that U Beat (also known as Jubeat in Japan and Asia) is currently being tested at Tenpin Bowl, in Acton, West London (please check the link for more information on the site – http://www.tenpin.co.uk/home/our_locations/acton.stml ).

U Beat is a rythmic action game that has proved to be hugely popular in overseas markets.Using 16 buttons layed out in a grid formation, that light up in sequence to the time of the music.Players must try to keep in time with the music by pressing the buttons as they light-up.The current version is a prototype and has a wide range of music to enjoy.

The game will not be on test for too long therefore if you get a chance please play it and let us know your thoughts (enquiries@konami.co.uk) !
